If knowing an athletes political views are important to how you view them, I think you owe it to yourself to try and find them out for yourself as much as possible. Orr is private. Whatever he may believe, it seems he’s not interested in using his status as a platform.

It’s not black and white. If I find out Gio is a member of the KKK, yeah, it affects how I think about him. If I find out that Monahan voted NDP, not so much. And there’s a lot of space in between. Being a “big fan” of Carlson isn’t a positive for me, though there’s more than a small chance Cherry was just blowing smoke and name dropping the biggest hockey name he knows.
